"Justice Antonin Scalia Bar Memorial": In a development that will someday lead to the live-streaming of its oral arguments, the U.S. Supreme Court today at 1:45 p.m. eastern time will live-stream over its web site a meeting of the Court's bar to "honor the memory of the late Justice Antonin Scalia."

As noted in a news release that the Court issued last month, the bar meeting "will feature remarks by the Acting Solicitor General of the United States Ian H. Gershengorn; Time Warner Executive Vice President and General Counsel Paul T. Cappuccio; Gibson Dunn & Crutcher partner Kristin A. Linsley; George Washington University Professor of Law Bradford R. Clark; Kirkland & Ellis partner Paul D. Clement; and U.S. Circuit Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton." With the exception of Gershengorn, these speakers all clerked for Justice Scalia.Posted at 09:00 AM by Howard Bashman
